I don't know about the HitKit decals, but I have the Blue Rider decals lined up for a Pegasus DIII. These are very nice and still available. However, posts on the list by one of our very knowledgable listees (Dr. Philip Anz-Meador) suggested that the sworl fabric had four colours, not three as Blue Rider show (don't know what HitKit has).

I'm very interested to know your reference(s) for this. I've done a bit of reading on the Russian Civil War aerial campaigns over the years, and AFAIK, none of the British squadrons in north or south Russia brought Sopwith triplanes with them in 1919, as they were obsolete by 1918 and the latest types of aircraft were available for the Expeditionary Force in surplus quantities. One exception to this general preference for up-to-date types were the Avro 504Ks which were used at Bereznik in the north. Most of the fighter aircraft equipping the few squadrons in Russia were either Camels or Snipes. The bombers included DH-4s, 9s and 9As, along with assorted seaplanes (which is another story). The RAF Expeditionary Force met sparse aerial resistance in 1919 and 1920, but among the occasional opponents was probably the single Tripehound shipped to the IRAS and subsequently used by the Bolshies (N5486). It was claimed as an aerial victory by Marion Aten, one of the few Americans who flew against Lenin's forces. He managed to become an ace during the few months 47 Sq. served in south Russia and win the D.F.C. For the complete story, "Last Train Over Rostov Bridge" is highly recommended, but be advised, it is a Dr. Zhivago style tear-jerker.

There was only one Tripehound shipped to the IRAS and subsequently used by the Bolshies (N5486). Although I don't have the Russian book, I have perused it a number of times, and IIRC, the Tripe is not covered as it wasn't adopted as a standard type as the Moranes, Nieuports, and SPADs were.

First off, those familiar with the HitKits will notice a little less "flesh" on the parts though it is still a problem. Some pieces are incompletely molded but in most cases they are the spars which you will want to be replaced anyway. My kit also seems to be missing half of the engine, but once again you will want to replace it as it is poorly cast. Wing rid details are not bad but over emphasized and will need some sanding down. The photo-etched sheet has 27 pretty good looking parts mainly dealing the cockpit areas. There are six metal parts as well, mainly for the rear gun and ring. This is the first time that I am aware of that HitKit has included metal parts and they look on par with Aeroclub. The decal sheet also looks pretty good with marking for five aircraft. In terms of the accuracy of the kits' lines, I compared the main components with Windsock Datafile 71 and found that the wings matched up will as did the stabilizer. The fin and rudder do not match exactly but pretty close. The fuselage is a different story. The lines look good but the overall length is short by a good 2 mm. Again this can be corrected with a little work. Overall not a bad kit and with a little work could probably turn into a rather nice finished model. For those interested, I got my kit through Hannats www.hannants.co.uk for about $13.60.

I can only blame my employers who normally advise us engineers of hoaxes before we've heard of them. Several people, including me have red faces. My apologies, Geoff. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2000 09:26:47 -0600 From: "DAVID BURKE" To: Subject: Re: INDOS Warning Message-ID: <003501bf724a$743d8b40$928faec7@dora9sprynet.com> Hmmm, How many times has this warning popped up? I am subscribed to a virus database through MacAfee virus scan, and upon report of any new virus which presents a true threat, I get flash bulletins. And who is INDOS? Never heard of 'em. Thanks for passing the warning along, but I wouldn't believe the hype. Sounds hoaxy to me. DB Wait, that's for Wobbler, right? Also called 'Earthquake'. It is not listed as a malicious virus, but as either a mild threat or hoax. The info files say nothing about it destroying data. But as I really couldn't care how to give a cat a colonic, I guess that I'm safe. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2000 09:37:01 -0600 From: "DAVID BURKE" To: Subject: Pend Orielle Message-ID: <003601bf724a$75056f20$928faec7@dora9sprynet.com> Hey Gang, Anybody know of an e-mail for Pend Orielle?
